Winemaker's Notes:

A dollop of fresh blackcurrants and ripe black cherries announce thisconsistently good value Pauillac. With a lovely, balancing streak of acidityrunning throughout, Ch. Batailley is an harmonious and precise wine withsmooth, integrated tannins and a long, savoury, mineral finish.
